Song Joong Ki just kicked off his Asia tour in Bangkok, where he captivated 4500 screaming Thai fans as he took part in interactive games and activities with them. To show his appreciation for all the love his fans have given him, he even posed for countless photos and shook hands with those in attendance towards the end of the event. Already dubbed Thailand's most-beloved Korean star, Song Joong Ki is cementing his position as the biggest heartthrob in all of Asia.

While already being the most sought-after actor in his home country, Song Joong Ki is also quickly becoming Asia's most popular actor. Having just completed the first leg of his eight-city Asian tour, Song Joong Ki will hold events over the next month and a half in Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Chengdu, and finally Taipei. There is a possibility that more dates and locations will be added, as fans in Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Myanmar have reached out to his agency begging for a visit to those countries as well.

It's not very often you hear of an actor holding fan events in front of thousands of fans in enormous venues, but Song Joong Ki's popularity is somewhat unprecedented. Whether it's appearing on the covers of high-fashion magazines like VOGUE, promoting an airline, or even selling luxury rice cookers, Song Joong Ki is riding his wave of superstardom that just keeps getting bigger. Every company whose product he's endorsed in Korea has reported increases in sales. He is, without a doubt, the man of the moment.

There's no doubt that for his next project, fans around the world will flock to watch him in whatever role he takes on.
